“The committee was very pleased with the number of ­extraordinary applicants who were interested in this position,” said J. Griffin Doyle, vice president for government relations and chair of the search committee. “We eagerly await the upcoming campus visits, when our two finalists will share their respective visions with the broader UGA community.”

The next vice president for development and alumni relations will succeed Tom Landrum, who is retiring June 30 after nearly 40 years of service to the university.
